Hmmm... I haven't posted for a while. So what is a girl to do?
Why, look at what's on her desk, of course!
This lovely figurine (entitled "Beautiful Belle") was a Christmas gift from my parents. Belle is such a sweet heroine - a bookworm, a dreamer, and fiercely loyal to those whom she loves. The gentle colors, the flowery design, and the flowers themselves (reminders of the Beast and the lessons he had to learn about loving beyond appearances) are gorgeous, are they not?I simply love the Jim Shore figurines. They make such great gifts - a way to share a bit of beauty with someone in your life. (You can generally find them in Hallmark stores, or you can scroll through all the delightful options on the Jim Shore website. Might I just make a quick note that "Someday is Today" - with Snow White and her Prince - is absolutely stunning?)
I think Belle would approve of the books, don't you?
Hope these pictures bring a bit of beauty to your day!
I have this figurine too. :)
ReplyDeleteBeauty and the Beast was definitely one of my favorite movies growing up and I always imagined I was Belle... :)
ReplyDeleteRuth,
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! Isn't it so pretty? I love having it on my desk. :)

Christina,
ReplyDeleteOh, I love(d) that movie, too! And don't even get me started on using my imagination... I went through a whole Disney princess phase. ;) I used to love the "Disney Girl" books!
~Amber
Lovely! Belle has always been my favorite Disney Princess. And great books you have there :)
ReplyDeleteFaye,
ReplyDeleteThank you! While there are a lot of Disney princesses I've liked over the years, I think I relate to Bell the most. :) Beauty & the Beast is a great movie!
And yes, I'm excited to read those books! I got two more today (Promise Me This and Words Spoke True), so no worries about running out of reading material for the next...oh...hundred years! LOL! ;)

How could we resist such a pretty figurine that reminds us of our lovely daughter!
ReplyDeleteLove you lots and lots and lots!
Mom
Hey Amber! Such a sweet post! I just LOVE Beauty and the Beast and that figurine is, well, beautiful! ;) I checked out the Snow White one you linked here and OH, I want it!! Ahh, nothing like a Disney Princess to make a girls heart dream :)
ReplyDeleteYour parents are so cute! Praying all is well with them and you, my friend :)
Blessings,
Amanda
OH!! I LOVE JIM SHORE figurines!! I have about 10 of them myself, including Tinkerbell on my dresser. I just love this one of Belle; I've never seen it before, but would LOVE to add it to my collection. :D
ReplyDeleteI'll have to be on the lookout for it.
Have a blessed week, Amber!
:::waving at Amanda::: It's nice to see you! I've missed seeing your around the blogging world. I pray that all is well.
I love Jim Shore. So far I only have a bible bag, and two tote bags. However for Christmas I was able to use Disney reward points and got my newest daughter a Classic Pooh figurine. I hope she'll love it as she grows.
ReplyDeleteMom,
ReplyDeleteAwww, thank you!! I love you lots and lots and lots, too! :)
Love,
Amber
Amanda,
ReplyDeleteI agree with Michelle - so good to see you!! :) I'm glad you enjoyed the post! And wouldn't that Snow White one make such a great wedding or anniversary gift?? So precious!
I'm really blessed with such wonderful parents. :) It's always fun to see a comment from my mom here!
Thank you for the prayers, and I hope all is well with you and your family, too! Hope we can catch up again soon. :)
~Amber
Michelle,
ReplyDeleteYay! Glad you share my enthusiasm! They are so beautiful, aren't they? :)
We have several in our family, as well. They really are great gifts!!
Hope you have a blessed week, as well, and thank you for stopping by!

MJ,
ReplyDeleteOh, that would be so sweet! I love Winnie the Pooh! That would be a great gift for your daughter to hang onto through the years. :)
